Ithaca Ale House: Your Go-To Spot for Burgers, Brews, and Relaxed Dining

Yummy! Hot food on a cold day, with a nice glass of wine. Check this place out. Relaxed atmosphere, great service (thank you Savannah) and delicious bites. The French Onion soup was nuclear hot, smothered with cheese and crunchy fried onions. The fish fry had a super crispy beer batter, but still moist and flaky inside. (Get the chipotle tarter with it) The "sidewinder" fries were a pleasant surprise. The Ruben was so savory, and came with some tasty straight cut fries. We had the crab cakes too, so good! They came with some slaw and a perky apple chutney. Check out the Ithaca Ale house today.

Looking for a burger and I found a good one at Ithaca Ale House. Started with the onion soup. I give it high marks overall. Tasty if not a little bit salty broth. I finished the entire bowl which says something. Nice addition of crispy fried onions on the top. The burger was also good. They say it is award winning. Maybe.....but it certainly did the trick that day.

Great value for the money. Good portions Fresh and tasty Good presentation Very clean Knowledgable and patient servers Comfortable seating Bathrooms are clean Great beer selection at reasonable prices and tall pours Food is delicious and onion rings crisp and tasty though I think they should be thicker cut as it does not provide enough of the onion and onion flavour due to the batter to onion ratio Burger bun to burger meat ratio perfect. Meat cook, texture, seasoning, and freshness was A1 All in all a surprisingly solid dining experience and will certainly patron whenever possible.

Food was amazing- Burgers were juicy with lots of flavor- The waitress was no very friendly… Could barely hear her, she was very short with us.. She clearly did not like her job nor want to be there.. Other than the service, the food was great, loved the atmosphere!!

We decided to check out the Ithaca ale house because of a TikTok that I saw regarding the skillet wings. The flavor of the skillet wings were so good however, I wish there was a little more topping on them for paying two dollars extra to make them skillet and the beer, cheese was really good, but the pretzel was average. It wasn’t really busy inside, so our waitress gave us a lot of attention and she was very sweet. I can’t remember her name, but she did a great job. The host seemed a bit flustered, but it could just have been an off day for him. I would definitely go back and get the wings again if I would visit Ithaca. The atmosphere was just your basic bar, but they did have a lot of seating.

Our family stopped here on our way into Ithaca for Valentine's Day weekend. Definitely recommend the skillet chicken wings and the prime rib sub!

Visited Ithaca Ale House and loved it. My husband had the Honey Garlic Glazed Salmon, and I had the Ancho Citrus Gluten Free Salad, and my daughter had the grilled cheese and everything was delicious! We all ate every bite - the food was so satisfying. The host and our server were also very nice and attentive!

Dropped into Ale House with high expectations after a recommendation from an Ithacan. The lady at the reception was engaged in a long conversation with a young man and didn’t notice me standing there. When she finally took me to a table, she showed no courtesy or hospitality, which was disappointing. However, the young lady who served me was polite and attentive, and she ensured my food arrived promptly. Although they claim to have an award-winning burger, I didn’t find anything particularly unique about it. Overall, I have mixed feelings about the restaurant.
